Worthiness

Self-Worth

Worthy of my own existence. Belonging and a lot of forgiveness. Forgiving myself, over and over again. This too belongs - all of it, even though writing this makes me feel sick to my stomach. I have fought a war inside my own body for most of my life. Self-worth asks me to love, to make peace, to accept. To love some more, to be kind, to nurture, to protect. Self-worth is healing, growing - backwards, forwards, forwards, backwards then leaping. Compassion and discovery. Curiosity and patience. Surrender to the journey, loving the layers and the hardships. Basking in the joy. Gratitude for the moments of hope, feeling feelings so deep. - a gift. Sharing and expanding. Ever-changing.

It’s okay not to know.

Self-worth is trust. Taking the leap. Showing up. Speaking truth. Standing tall, it is also the fall. Self-worth is the light inside of us all.
